Chapter 2589 The Black Count's Abnormality

It was not difficult for them to find the True Name Trace in a pile of rubble. With a direct mental probe, they could distinguish most of it.

The only difficulty was to determine whether it was a magic pattern or a True Name Trace.

This was a time-consuming task for Dox, Kael, and Wai, but it was still not difficult for Angel and the Black Earl.

Less than two minutes later, a large pile of rubble from the altar had been turned over by Angel and the Black Earl.

The result was... nothing!

Except for the magic pattern that was broken to the point of being unrecognizable, there were no other traces.

"This is interesting. Could this Mirror Demon be the Great Demon, or the Unparalleled Great Demon that has not been discovered by the wizarding world?" Dox raised his eyebrows after hearing the result.

Dox's question was also the question of others, including Angel.

Angel turned his head and looked at the Black Earl. If this question really had an answer, then the only one who could answer it was the Black Earl.

After pondering for a few seconds, the Black Earl still shook his head: "No, at least in my memory, there has never been any Mirror Demon."

"From the time I saw the Mirror Demon recorded in the Uyisu language to now, I don't know how long it has been on the road. Lord Black Earl should have thought through everything he should have thought about. Why does he need to ponder for a few seconds before answering? Is he putting on airs, or does he know something but doesn't want to say it?" The only one who dared to confront the Black Earl in such a faceless way was Dox.

Although Dox's words sounded a bit too picky, if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense.

The above are the thoughts of Kael and Wai.

Angel didn't have so many thoughts. The Black Earl had clearly stated in the contract light shield that he didn't know about the Mirror Demon, so he believed the Black Earl's words. As for what Dox said, whether the Black Earl would remember it again on the way, this is actually even more impossible. With the current status of the Black Earl, forgetting something and then remembering it after a while, can this be the work of a top wizard of level three? Unless there is a more powerful existence than the Black Earl that affects his memory.

In response to Dox's obviously critical remarks, the Black Earl snorted coldly: "Sophistry."

The Black Earl only said this, and then he showed an attitude of disdain for Dox.

"That's it? No punishment for Dox? No anger?" This is what everyone present was thinking.

Originally, Angel thought that there was nothing wrong with the Black Earl, but the Black Earl's attitude was really strange. Unlike others, what Angel found strange was not why the Black Earl did not get angry at Dox's provocation, but that the Black Earl's mood was quite obscure.

Even when refuting Dox, his emotions were still obscure.

There were no ups and downs, and no waves. This kind of emotion was more like thinking about something, and the content of thinking was more important than things outside, so he didn't even bother to pay attention to Dox's provocation.

Angel thought for a few seconds and said, "Could it be that the Mirror Demon God was a name ten thousand years ago, and now it has changed its name? Or has it fallen?"

"Impossible, the real name of the Demon God cannot be changed at will. As for falling, I have never heard of a Demon God with this real name falling." The Black Earl answered without hesitation this time.

Angel nodded and murmured in a low voice: "That's strange, why is there no real name?"

Angel seemed to be wondering and thinking deeply, but in fact he was still thinking about the reaction of the Black Earl. The Black Earl quickly answered the question he asked just now, which showed a signal: the Black Earl was indeed thinking deeply about something, but it should have nothing to do with the Mirror Demon God.

Angel glanced at Dox, who happened to glance over and had a look with Angel for a moment.

The eye contact was very short, but Angel still read what he wanted to say from Dox's eyes: the Black Earl has a problem.

The Black Earl has a problem, which is actually a very broad statement. In fact, as long as you have other thoughts about the exploration of the ruins, you can say that there is a problem, just like Angel himself, you can also say that there is a problem.

However, the degree of this problem, whether it is big or small, is the key point.

Angel thought for a while, turned his head and looked at the Black Earl: "What do you think, sir?"

"What do you want to know?"

In theory, Angel asked about the True Name Trace at this time, but the Black Earl's answer was a direct counter-question. It seemed that he knew that Angel was most concerned about something other than the True Name Trace.

"Any opinion is fine, such as the Mirror Demon, and why the True Name Trace, and... Will you feel any familiarity or inspiration when you come to the underground maze?"

Angel's words were normal at the beginning, but strange at the end. Kael and Wai both felt that the atmosphere was wrong at this time, and they kept backing away and standing by the door. Only Dox did not move, but squatted on a pile of rubble, looking at the weird atmosphere between Angel and the Black Earl, his eyes shining.

The Black Earl remained silent for a long time, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn, but Angel still did not retreat, and stared at the Black Earl - if staring at the nose can be considered staring at each other.

After a long while, the Black Earl suddenly "snorted", followed by a burst of laughter. The stiff atmosphere, like a balloon that was popped, disappeared in an instant: "There should be something from our Noah family in this exploration of the ruins. Don't refute it. You must know it, otherwise, you wouldn't have asked for that promise before, and you wouldn't ask for the "inspiration" now."

Angel listened to the laughter in the air and suddenly felt that he might have fallen into a trap.

The Black Earl pretended to be in deep thought, but in fact he wanted to trick him.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. When he asked the Black Count for that promise, the Black Count probably became suspicious; but he did not ask at that time, but waited for Angel to take the bait. Now, the Black Count just acted a little strange, and he took the initiative to speak, saying "sense of familiarity" and "inspiration" and other words that seemed to have a deep understanding of the truth of the ruins.

If this is true, he is so cunning!

Angel complained in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

"I said at the beginning that I know something about the ruins." Angel thought about it and said something indifferent.

The Black Count said lightly: "Let me guess what you are thinking now... You should be thinking, why did he act so strange after entering the maze, is it intentional, is he trying to trick you?"

Angel pursed his lips and said nothing. Not admitting it means that he didn't think so - this is Angel's stubbornness.

"I can answer you. I didn't lie to you. When you wanted to break my promise, I knew you knew the truth in the ruins, so there was no need to act and lie to you." Black Earl: "I know what you and that red-haired stinky boy want to know, and I can tell you. But I have a condition."

Angel didn't speak, and the "red-haired stinky boy" on the other side spoke: "What condition?"

Black Earl: "It has nothing to do with you."

After speaking, Black Earl looked at Angel: "I won't ask you for the answer directly, I just need you to say one sentence."

"What words?"

"The destination of the ruins this time is related to the Noah family."

In short, Black Earl is asking Angel for a definite answer.

Hearing what Black Earl said, Angel raised his mouth: "Just this one sentence? Aren't you afraid that I will lie if you don't open the truth word?"

Before Black Earl spoke, a faint red light escaped from the side, and the truth word was opened. The person who opened it was... Dox.

If Black Earl had a body at this time, he would have clenched his fists. He himself had no intention of opening any truth words, because there was no need. He was completely confident and could directly judge whether what Angel said was true or false. The contract light shield was opened outside before, purely to dispel the doubts of these suspicious little guys, not to need the contract light shield to see whether what they said was true or false.

At this time, Dox opened the truth word, and the Black Earl felt a little suffocated, but it was difficult to say anything.

Angel also saw the truth word was opened. He didn't care whether it was the Black Earl or Dox who did it, and said directly: "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, I can't say this. Because I can't be sure whether the destination of the ruins is related to Noah's family."

The truth word did not respond, indicating that Angel was telling the truth.

Seeing this result, the Black Earl probably understood that Angel might have only learned some information about the ruins from the side, but didn't know the real situation.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then do you think it is likely to be related to Noah's family?"

Angel nodded this time: "Yes. It is likely to be related to Noah's family, but it is only a high probability, not a certainty."

The Word of Truth still did not respond.

The Black Earl nodded: "I understand."

Angel: "Then can you tell me about the doubts in my and Dox's hearts?"

The Black Earl: "Your doubt is why I behaved a little abnormally after entering the underground maze? I can tell you that you were actually half right just now. There is indeed a call, but this call was sent out by me on my own initiative."

"Or, it is a kind of fantasy call that comes from the intersection of omen and inspiration."

Calling means that a certain existence calls you in some form; and the so-called fantasy call is that you are tinkering with it and actively looking for a certain existence. But in fact, whether there is a certain existence is a question, purely a fantasy.

It's a bit like a person who knows nothing, after getting a few pages of completely incomplete information, he performs a ritual to send a signal to an unknown existence, hoping to get feedback.

This sounds a bit magical, and normal people will only think it's a crazy idea. But it's different when it comes from the mouth of the Black Earl.

Angel: "My lord, is it because of the promise I asked for before, which is definitely related to the Noah family. So as soon as you enter the underground maze, you start to actively summon?"

The Black Earl: "I will do it whether there is that promise or not. It's just that your promise has accelerated this progress."

Angel pondered for a moment: "Then did your active summoning get any feedback?"

The Black Earl was silent for a long time this time: "There is no obvious information feedback, but I vaguely feel that my blood seems to be resonating with a certain place."

"However, is this real, or is it a feedback I imagined? I can't tell now. This is the side effect of my using fantasy summoning."

I don't know whether Dox intended it or not, his truth word has not been revoked. The Black Earl didn't care at all, and said this without paying any attention to the Word of Truth.

The Word of Truth did not change, nor did it fluctuate as it did when it was deliberately guarded, which meant that what the Black Earl said was true.

"Whether the blood resonance that the adults said is true or imaginary, it can be regarded as true for now."

After all, the underground maze is too big, and it is not easy for Angel to find a familiar place. Since the Black Earl has the blood call, he should go in the direction of the Black Earl's call. Whether he goes right or wrong, he will wander in the underground maze. Angel believes that he will always encounter a familiar place.

Moreover, Angel speculated that the official institution that the followers of the Mirror Demon God might have attacked was actually the Prison Ladder.

If it was really a prison ladder, he should be able to find a familiar location quickly.

"No matter what, thank you sir for clearing up our doubts." Angel bowed to the Black Earl.

The Black Earl snorted: "You little guys are just suspicious. I told you that I will not kill you and will protect you. You should still be on guard."

Angel smiled and said nothing, while Doakes muttered in a low voice: "Life and death are not the same as profit."

Doakes' meaning is also very simple. If the treasures of the Noah family are really found at the target location, the Black Earl may be able to keep his promise not to kill us, but the things will definitely not be distributed to them.

Therefore, what should be guarded and vigilant should be defended. If he gets involved halfway, even if they don't die, the benefits will be gone, and then this exploration of the ruins will be in vain.

"Now we can get back to the topic, sir. Is there really a demon god who hides in the abyss and is not discovered by others?"

Black Earl: "Demons will spread faith. Generally speaking, there will be no demons who are hidden and undetected. However, there may be some monsters that have lived for a long time in the depths of the abyss, and some of them are even more powerful than the demons. They have their own names, but it’s okay to call them demons...after all, they are all monsters in the abyss."

"My lord, are you talking about the Ancient One?"

The Black Earl paused for a moment on his slate, then slowly turned around and pointed his nostrils at Angel: "You know a lot. I'm afraid your mentor has never heard of the title of the Ancient One."

The Black Earl's words made everyone present prick up their ears.

There is no doubt that this is a secret!

"I just know some friends from the abyss, and they told me."

The Black Earl said calmly: "The Abyss is no better than the Wizarding World. In the Wizarding World, I can talk to you about the Ancients. But in the Abyss, there are not many people who dare to talk about the Ancients. It seems that your friend is not simple."

Everyone looked at Angel, obviously wanting to ask who the high-end person that Angel knew was.

Angel had many candidates in mind at this time: Alderkras, Balalaika, Fafnir, the nightclub owner... but he couldn't name any of them.

Because...Doakes's power of power has not been withdrawn yet!

The one who really told Angel the Ancient One was Greve, the descendant of the Flameless Lord. If he told Grewu, the trouble would be even greater.

Angel cursed Doakes in his heart, but still pretended to be calm on his face: "Fortunately, I just met an ancient man's subordinate."

This sentence is true. He has met Jialmu and Kulando, both of whom are subordinates of the ancient one who has mastered the rules of death.

Hearing Angel's words, the Black Earl was even more surprised.

Generally speaking, the Ancient One does not have many subordinates, and they have all survived with the Ancient One since ancient times. Even if they are not as powerful as the Great Demon God, they at least have legendary strength.

Angel actually met the other party and chatted with him, and the other party didn't even kill Angel yet?

This is simply magical.

You know, most ancient beings are even more unreasonable than the devil.

Angel saw that the Black Earl seemed to still have many questions to ask, and he quickly said: "My past is not today's topic, so let's stop here."

Angel changed the topic: "What do you mean, sir, is it possible that the Mirror Demon God is disguised by an ancient being?"

Earl Black: "If the Mirror Demon is definitely from the abyss, I would be more inclined to believe that he is a subordinate of the Ancient One than that he is disguised by the Ancient One."
